The sessions will showcase equipment and systems designed to reduce exposure and improve workplace safety, including:

• On-gun fume extraction systems
• Hooded capture extraction units
• Welding helmets with Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR)

With recent legislative changes reducing the workplace exposure standard for welding fumes from an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 5 mg/m³ to 1 mg/m³, it’s more important than ever to understand your obligations and the practical solutions available.

Hear from Bruce Cannon, Weld Australia’s Principal Welding Engineer, as well as Michael Weller, State Inspector, from the Occupational Health and Environment team at SafeWork NSW, and Alvaro Marques, Economic Development Manager Regional Economic Development – Western NSW, Regional Development & Delivery from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
